Robins' Nest


Note: This collection of one-shots might turn out really OOC, because I've just recently become a fan of the Batfamily. Damian isn't here, btw, because I don't exactly know how to write him. He's an ass, yes, but I don't know anything more than that. Terry is here, though, because I like him. Dick is 20, Jason is 15, Tim is 12 and Terry is a five month old baby. Obviously this is AU, and they're not Robins, and Bruce is not Batman. Kinda like the Batfamily without the bat. And the birds.


One: The Babysitter

Jason stared at the toddler, wearing baby blue overalls, sitting together with him on the floor. The toddler stared back with its lovely blue eyes just like Bruce's, and then laughed, reaching for him. Jason frowned a bit, not sure if he'd be able to hold the baby properly. He wasn't even sure if he wanted to hold the baby.

Why did he have to be left with the babysitting job? Oh yeah, because Dick had exams. Stupid college. Tim had a competition to go to. Couldn't Gotham Academy find someone else? Alfred? Alfred was downstairs cooking lunch. And Alfred would never let them step into the kitchen.

Another moment passed. The baby was still smiling at him, reaching up to be carried, the cute eyes coaxing him to pick him up.

"Are you sure?" he asked the baby. "I'm not exactly the best big brother, y'know." He told him. "I haven't been nice to you either."

The baby withdrew his short arms and tiny hands, and stared up at Jason, looking up at him as if he understood every word the fifteen year old was saying. He had chubby cheeks, Bruce's eyes and black hair. Jason thought he was a little clone.

"I don't even know how to carry you." Still the baby was just looking up at him. "I might drop you, or something…don't just sit there, say something!"

The baby laughed, showing Jason his toothless gums, then reached up for him again.

Jason sighed, and surrendered. "Fine," he picked the baby up, just like how he saw Bruce, Alfred and his brothers do it, and carefully rested the baby's head on the crook of his arm. "No wonder Dick and Tim would kill to babysit you, Terry. You've got no teeth." Jason smiled.
